Library Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

DEI projects

Open Educational Resources (OER)

We're removing financial barriers to success by leading SUU's OER efforts.

Inclusive collections

We're creating collections that promote diverse voices, authors, and viewpoints.

Events and engagement

We're introducing our patrons to people with different backgrounds and perspectives than their own.

Digital accessibility

We're making our digital resources equitable and accessible for all users, regardless of ability.

Our commitment

• We promote access to information for all communities on campus, in Cedar City, and across Southern Utah.
• We honor, preserve, and respect cultural artifacts from local indigenous communities in our Special Collections.
• We support the SUU Land Acknowledgement. 
• We teach library courses that address service needs for diverse users.
• We remove financial access barriers for students, faculty, and staff through Interlibrary Loan, textbook and technology lending, and Open Educational Resources.
• We highlight a diversity of voices, perspectives, and works on the local, regional, and national level.
